it's crazy how good this instruments just SOUNDS... like sure its a bit limited but theres something just intangible about the way it makes you feel when you hear it. thats something an instrument either has, or doens't have. this just does. i literally can't explain it at all because in theory it shouldn't, its just the reality. also, really cool production techniques when i kept watching the video
I absolutely agree! I’ve played other drum pads and they felt like midi controllers or something. The ND just feels like a high quality experience all around.
Goddamn that’s awesome! I’m actually in the market for a new drum machine and was pointed towards the ND3 but I don’t have to space for it. Wish they made just the brains of it to hook up to a sequencer.
Ahhh man I have to agree on the parameter jumping thing. I’d love the option to turn on and off a glide mode for some parameters. I’d forgo the extra individual outs in place of a dedicated kick channel so you didn’t have to sacrifice the one pad.
thank you so much for giving it a listen! I wrote much of that after watching Tenet. I wanted to write music that you felt like you could run to, both forward and reverse 😆
Just wanted to say thanks for making these tutorial videos, they've been really inspiring to me for how you come up with the base sounds and then how you process things in Ableton. The final track is also amazing!
Thanks Christopher! I am grateful that someone is getting something out of these! I sort of fell upon this a couple months ago when I challenged myself to make a track a day for a month only using the Nord Drum. It made me realize that, in my case, less is more. When I had the most amount of gear I ever had in my life I was writing the worst music haha. Trying to apply the less is more to things moving forward.
@@toskabyss I like it so far, as well as its workflow potentials. I have already been hooking it up to my modular effects, which when those are modulated allows me to keep the static sounds on the ND constantly changing (no LFOs on the ND as you know). Plus I could use the ND to trigger modular drum voices or envelopes as another strategy to not have all 6 channels coming from the ND to keep channels split as much as possible. First week in though, I want to make an Ableton chain that beefs up the raw sound of the ND to have a better "starting point" when designing kits. Do you have a kick trigger for the ND? If so which do you recommend?
